About us
This group started in 2014 as group of people interested in meeting and networking with other real estate investors. We welcome everyone from those just starting out to seasoned investors. Our primary focus is networking, and we do not charge a fee NOR ADVERTISE! We meet once a month in a casual setting simply to establish and develop relationships and learn from one another. We are ALL about networking and people with an Agenda are NOT encouraged to attend. If you have something for sale, then this is NOT the place to do that!

Real Properties. Real Numbers. Honest Opinions.
A price reduction doesn’t automatically make a property a good investment. A wholesale deal isn’t necessarily a bargain. And a distressed property can become an expensive mistake if you overlook the risks. So, how do you decide whether to make an offer—or walk away?Join Joe Homs and the Orange County Real Estate Investor Networking group for Deal or No Deal, our monthly discussion evaluating actual properties currently available for purchase. We’ll examine wholesale opportunities, distressed properties, and standard market listings, working through the numbers together to determine what makes sense in a declining market.
We’ll discuss:- Purchase price: What is the property worth today, and what price would make it a worthwhile investment?
- Comparable sales: Are we relying on realistic competition and recent sales—or yesterday’s prices?
- Repairs and renovations: What work is needed, what might it cost, and where could surprises arise?
- The full cost of ownership: Financing, holding costs, commissions, closing expenses, and contingency reserves.
- Downside scenarios: What happens if resale values fall, renovations run over budget, or the property takes longer to sell?
- Exit strategies: Does the property make sense as a flip, rental, or another investment—and is there a workable backup plan?
Bring a property address, listing link, or deal you’re considering for group analysis.
Come prepared to share what you know, explain your assumptions, and hear different perspectives. The purpose is to sharpen our judgment through discussion, not deliver sales pitches.
Whether you’re evaluating your first investment or have completed dozens of transactions, join us to compare approaches, build relationships, and learn from other investors’ experience.
Sometimes the best investment decision is the deal you pass on. RSVP and help us decide: Deal or No Deal?
